Wizards (1977)
a tolkeinish fantasy mixing humor sci fi and animation
24 September 2001
A fantasy worthy of a book. WIZARDS was a dark antimated film about a fantasy world in which science and fantasy collide along with the discovery of modern weapons like tanks and machine guns. The film was part political satire/allegory with a dash of ww 2 history and a great fantasy adventure yarn for families. There was a subtle slyness to the writing and it's delivery visually to the big screen. The film had a depth the discerning adult and history major could enjoy. With the exception of the HOBBIT and LORD OF THE RINGS and FIRE AND ICE there has never been an animated movie like this except for HEAVY METAL in 1980. A great film. The best BAKSHI has done.
